Radioactive UO powder was prepared by hydrothermal method and a set of Pt-UO/C catalysts were synthesized by impregnation method for solving the problem of low activity and easy poisoning of anode Pt/C catalysts for a direct ethanol fuel cell. XRD, TEM, EDS, XPS and ICP-MS characterization showed the successful loading of Pt and UO onto the carbon carrier. Electrochemical workstation and single cell test results confirm that the catalytic performance of Pt-10% UO/C is significantly better than Pt/C-eg.

The catalytic activity and resistance to CO poisoning of Pt-6.67 wt%ThO/C were found to be superior to those of Pt/C-NaBH in electrochemical workstation and single-cell tests.

- The study focuses on the solvent extraction and complexing ability of tetradentate N-donor ligands, specifically a compound called CyMe4-BT-Phen and its derivatives, including Br, hydroxyphenyl, and nitryl.
- The ligands were found to selectively extract americium (Am(III)) over europium (Eu(III)), with the derivative 5-nitryl-CyMe4-BTPhen showing significantly lower efficiency for Eu(III) compared to CyMe4-BTPhen.
- The researchers also analyzed how different substituents affect the ligands' affinity for lanthanides using UV/vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, determining stability constants and basicity,
